Tim is on the downslope. Manu will never be Manu of 2005 and will likely be making frequent trips to the IR the rest of his career.
Manhimi is one constant injury after another. Mason and Hill are nice players, but they aren't going to pick up any major slack.
Unless the Spurs can pull off some miracle like trading Manu for Igudaga or Danny Granger (which would never happen in a million years), you can consider this thing over.
It's sad, but most NBA fans would kill to have had their teams make the run we did over the last decade.
It's hard to admit it's over and our hearts keep trying to tell us "there's a chance" but I think if most of us are honest with ourselves, we know it's over.
Who exactly is we?
Maybe you and some friends of yours but not all of us who support the Spurs.
There is some work to be done and hard choices have to be made but this team as a le contender is still very feasible. I'm not saying ignore the problems but you can't go the other extreme either and just assume this team will never win another le.
eh, don't think so. Tim can still play great, its just surrounding him with a modi of talent.
why didn't we trade mason/hill for vince?
If the big three's health is intact we can compete with anyone in the league. Big "if," but I'm not willing to give up yet, especially if Manu takes his summers off from now on.
mmm I think they still could of won the dallas series but things didn't fall are way.....but I don't think the spurs would made to the finals .......The spurs still have acouple of championships left in them....
I won't give up on Tim until he retires but I do agree things are looking gloomy They still have a great PG and if Tim can get healthy the best PF. Who knows? Maybe Splitter comes over, Mahinmi stays healthy, Duncan gets healthy, Manu gets healthy.. The Spurs have a chance, they just need things to roll their way
Sorry, but if you think the Spurs are over, you need to hop off the bandwagon.
pack it up boys, 50 cent says we're done
Over? What's over?
The Spurs will still be taking the floor next season. Slates will be cleaned, and they will have exactly what 29 other teams have: a chance at the le. Expecting any one team to go all the way every year is asking for frustration.
Would you cheer for the Spurs if we were a lottery team?
to the OP... shut the up!
time to rebuild around TP.
From an outside biased perspective. I think it CAN be over.
But I refuse to believe so. 1 big signing or trade will go a long way in San Antonio. Timmy D isn't much different than he was last year. Certainly played well for my fantasy team. He has got a lot left.
Let Manu go.
It really isn't over. Tim is getting the longest rest of his career, and he will be back hungry. DO you think he likes losing in the first round to the Mavs? Same with Manu. Do you think he likes watching from the sideline when the team obviously needs him? Tony will be even better. The roster will be retooled. If anything, this place should be loaded with optimism.
So the Lakers can get him?
You got your lunch money stolen alot didn't you. Still have the lack of confidence embedded in your dome. Get over it!
Maybe it is over, but there is not much the Spurs can do until NO LIMIT 2010.
Good post, definately appreciated hearing this from a non-Spurs fan.
I believe if we had traded Mason/Hill for Vince Carter, we wouldn't be in this situation - yet hindsight is always 20/20, and both those guys can still prove themselves next year.
exactly...Tim aint done...and if HE aint done...there is ALWAYS a chance....who is the only common denominator in all 4 les?...no further questions your honor....
g-unit
Our Spurs lost cuz we don't have a bigman that can D up or block a shot not wearing #21 on his back.
A healthy Manu doesn't get this team over the hump.
A gimpy TD cannot will this team to a championship all by himself down low like he practically did in 05 and 07. All due respect to Nazr and Horry.
He's in his what 12th year?
DRob's 12th was in 2001 and he was firmly entrenched as TD's wingman at that point.
Championships are won down low.
Spurs rebuild and put a couple of ballas downlow next to Tim or it IS over...
and no, Gooden doesn't fit the mold. alot of good he did.
Red rocket needs his ass rocketed out of town,
Oberto can be used as trade fodder or keep the end of the bench warm.
Thomas, is just too inconsistant unfortunately...
So work you magic Pop and RC. Now or Never.
The Spurs will have another run but not with the current line up.
Their run is not over.
Stop kidding ourselves? How can a le run be over when the greatest power foward of all time is on our team. He's got a lot of left. You should really stop kidding YOURSELF.
